Netbeans Integration

Netbeans is providing support for JBoss AS 7 integration since version 7.3.1

Please have a look to release information

Introduction

The main goal of this page is to discuss about the integration of the OpenESB over JBoss AS 7 in Netbeans.

Overview

An implementation of the Netbeans module is already available at https://bitbucket.org/openesb/netbeans-jboss-integration-module.

According to the latest changes in the Netbeans repository, support for JBoss 7.x is done in the same module than the previous version (4.x / 5.x / 6.x).

It may be a good news for us since it implies that the efforts done for JBoss 5.x can be considered to evolve to Jboss 7.x.

Implementation Steps

Moving to Netbeans 7.3.1

Current development version of OpenESB-IDE is done using Netbeans 7.3. What we have to do :

  • Changing Netbeans platform to 7.3.1
  • Checking that Glassfish v2 support is still available

Providing better implementation of the Netbeans module

  • Until now, we are using a hack to integrate well to JBoss server support. Why not providing a patch to the Netbeans community to add a PluggableNodeProvider system which does not interfere wich server plugin development.
  • More logs...
